HARRINGTON CALLS FOR STRONGER PROOFS.
| Lord Harrington. who rising was greeted with
cheers said the House had heard the only answer which
Mr. Sexton thought necessary and sufficient to meet the
charges against him and his friends made chiefly not
within but outside the House. Could the House accept
that answer as sufficient Was the bare denial OF the
existence of any proof any kind OF response at all 10

ford Harrington then proceeded, depreca'ins the pro-
longed discussion of the bill The Liberals who opposed
coercion he said excused themselves on the ground that
now they were Home Rulers and must oppose coercion
Bu that was no reason for the country which unmis-
takably pronounced against Home Rule at the last cleo
ton it was enough for Parliament to be convinced
thnt the law did prevail in Ireland; that the League
law was supersedng the ordinary law IL was certain
that the Government would succeed In restoring the a

Mr. Gladstone, upon rising, was loudly cheered. Hc
said that the bill passed the political subscriptions
from America which some OF the speakers had con
demped we're likely to ncrease-no the Irish subscrip
t,ons alone but those humane contributions which were
reaectng such splendid light upon America.
The mandate given at the last election was
to govern Ireland without coercion. When
